OVR Youth Shine in On-the-Job Training
The Jobs for All On-the-Job Training (OJT) program enables OVR customers to enter into
employment by creating paid work opportunities with OVR business partners. OJTs assist
employers by providing a reimbursement for a percentage of the customer’s wages while
they are on-boarding a new employee. The OJT program assists employers in acquiring
skilled employees capable of satisfying the specific needs of their business. The Jobs for All
OJT program is a win-win for OVR customers and OVR business partners.
A key component of the Jobs for All OJT program is a focus on youth. In 2015, OVR partnered
with more than 90 businesses across the state and placed more than 100 youth in paid
OJT programs in a diverse range of occupations, including retail, sales, maintenance, food
service, call center, public school support, clerical and agricultural positions.
In 2015, through the Jobs for All OJT program, Zachary Klorczyk obtained employment at
the Fayette County Courthouse with the District Attorney’s Office. At the DA’s office, some
of Zac’s duties include: pulling files, making copies and coordinating the delivery of packets,
forms and documents to other departments, offices and courtrooms. One of Zac’s skills that
has helped him to be successful is his ability to remember case information for the District
Attorney. When asked what it is like for him to have a job, Zac stated: “It makes me really
happy.”
On December 22, the OVR Business Services Team, who assisted with Zac’s placement,
presented the Fayette County Courthouse with an Employer Award for their partnership and
for believing in the potential of individuals with disabilities.
